Abstract
According to the invention the outer surface of the inner element (16) is provided with a plurality of axial grooves (18) and an axial rib is formed on a cylinder segment-shaped pressure plate (22), which is displaceable radially inwardly by means of a radially moveable member (30), so that the axial rib is pressable into any one of said axial grooves.
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for locking two elements to each other which are telescopically displaceable relative to each other, wherein an axial groove is applied in the outer surface of the inner element and the outer element being provided with an internal radial projection, which is displaceable and pressable inwardly relative to the inner element into said groove by means of a radially movable member, said member being mounted in an outer hub which is fixed on the outer element.
- With such a device, known from the practice of Applicants, and drawn in the figures 1 and 2 and being applied in e.g. the pedestal of a driver's seat of a vessel or in a pedestal of an other object that must be adjustable and lockable in height and around the centreline of the pedestal, one single relatively deep
axial groove 3 is applied in theouter surface 2 of the inner element 1, which is formed by inwardly displacing a portion of thewall 4 of the inner element. In theouter element 5 tworings 6 of synthetic material (e.g. nylon) are mounted, between which rings 6 aring 7 of the same metal as theelements 1 and 5 is placed. Thering 7 has an outer diameter which is somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of theouter element 5, so that thering 7 can rotate freely in the outer element. Thisring 7 is provided with an axial groove 8, which is formed by inwardly displacing a portion of thewall 9 of thering 7, by which aninternal projection 10 is formed. On theouter element 5 at the position of therings 6 and 7 ahub 11 is fixed, which is provided with alocal thickening 12 having ascrew thread bore 13, in which ascrew thread rod 14 is screwed being provided with acontrol knob 15. - For locking the
elements 1 and 5 relative to each other thering 7 has to be placed with the axial groove 8 opposite thescrew thread rod 14 and theinertal projection 10 of thering 7 has to be placed opposite theaxial groove 3 in the inner element, after which the control button can be turned to press theprojection 10 rigidly into thegroove 3. Putting the different parts of the device in the right position relative to each other is a difficult and time-consuming job, which moreover must be performed accurately. If theprojection 10 is not opposite thegroove 3, theprojection 10 essentially exerts only a point load on the inner element, which gives almost no grip to the lock. Further a great radial force is executed on thering 7 and consequently on the inner element 1 by the tightened screw thread rod, which leads to relatively great local deformation of both thering 7 and the inner element 1, as well as of thehub 11. Finally the mounting of the inner element 1 in thenylon rings 6 is little stable. - The invention aims at removing the above described objections of the known locking device.
- This object is attained because according to the invention the outer surface of the inner element is provided with a plurality of axial grooves divided equally over the circumference and because the projection is formed on a cylinder segment-shaped pressure plate extending circumferentially over more than one axial groove in the inner element, which is concentrical relative to the inner element and which at the inside is provided with at least one axial rib which fits in each axial groove in the outer surface of the inner element.
- By applying these measures it is attained that the inner and outer element can be locked in any position relative to each other, wherein the blocking force is equal in all positions and circumferentially also optimal. Moreover the pressure force of the radially movable member is divided over a relative large surface of the inner element by the cylinder segment-shaped pressure plate, so that deformation of the inner element is avoided, anyway reduced to a minimum.
- With a preferred embodiment of the locking device according to the invention a plurality of equally spaced ribs are applied on the inner surface of the pressure plate, said ribs simultaneously fitting in the axial grooves opposite thereof in the outer surface of the inner element.
- With this embodiment the circumferentially operating force, which attempts to turn both telescopical elements relative to each other, is divided optimally over a plurality of ribs on the pressure plate and a plurality of grooves in the inner element respectively.
- With a special appropriate embodiment of the locking device according to the invention the pressure plate is partially disconnected by machining from a ring forming one piece therewith between the inner and the outer element, which ring is secured to the outer element and mounted on the inner element with a sliding fit.
- With this embodiment of the locking device according to the invention a stable mounting of the inner and outer elements relative to each other is attained, while the ring with the pressure plate has a simple and cheap construction.
- Further, according to the invention, the outer surface of the inner element is provided with a plurality of circumferential grooves equally divided over the length of the inner element and the inner surface of the pressure plate is provided with at least one circumferential rib, which fits in each circumferential groove in the outer surface of the inner element.
- By applying these measures it is attained that the blocking force on the elements in axial direction relative to each other is optimal and both elements may be locked relative to each other in a very large number of axial positions. With this embodiment of the locking device according to the invention the pressure force of the pressure plate on the inner element only needs to have a very small value, because essentially it is already sufficient if the ribs on the pressure plate extend completely into the grooves in the outer surface of the inner element.
- Preferably a plurality of equally spaced circumferential ribs are applied on the inner surface of the pressure plate, which simultaneously fit in the circumferential grooves opposite thereof in the outer surface of the inner element.
- The invention will further be elucidated on the basis of the drawings with a few examples.
- Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of one embodiment of the locking device according to the invention,
- figure 4 is a cross-section according to the line IV-IV in figure 3;
- figure 5 is a longitudinal section of another embodiment of the locking device according to the invention, and
- figure 6 is a cross-section according to VI-VI in figure 5.
- The telescopical pedestals, which are drawn in the figures 3 to 6, are especially meant for driver's seats of vessels, but may naturally also be used for other seats or objects which have to be locked at a certain height and/or in a certain position. There the thinnest tube is mounted to e.g. the seat of the driver's seat, while the thickest tube is secured optionally detachably and rotatably to the foot of the seat, which is fastened to the deck of the vessel.
- With the embodiment of the locking device according to the invention, which is drawn in the figures 3 and 4, a plurality of
axial grooves 18 equally divided over the circumference are applied in theouter surface 17 of the inner element, in this case theinner tube 16. - The
inner tube 16 is mounted axially slidably and rotatably in aring 19 of synthetic material, which in its turn is mounted with a press fit in the end of the outer element, theouter tube 20. In thering 19 of synthetic material two parallelaxial recesses 21 are milled over a portion of the length, by which a partly detached, cylinder segment-shaped pressure plate 22 is formed which in a certain manner is pivotably relative to thering 19 about its securing line to thering 19. At the inside, thus at the face turned towards theinner tube 16, of thepressure plate 22 at least one and preferably a plurality ofribs 23 is/are applied, which simultaneously fit in theaxial grooves 18 opposite thereof in theouter surface 17 of theinner tube 16. - On the one end, the top end of the
ring 19 aclamping hub 24 is mounted with a pres fit, which is provided with aradial thickening 25 with an internalaxial recess 26, in which ascrew nut 27 is fixed. In theclamping hub 24 aligned with thescrew nut 27 aradial bore 28 is applied and through thebore 28 and in thescrew nut 27 ascrew thread rod 29 is screwed, which at its end is provided with aknob 30. Thescrew thread rod 29 abuts with its inner end to a cylinder segment-shaped distribution plate 31, which is placed in a recess 32 in theouter tube 20 and which serves to divide the force of thescrew thread rod 29 as evenly as possible over thepressure plate 22. For this purpose thedistribution plate 31 may be manufactured from a strong, rigid material, e.g. steel. - The
outer tube 20 can be adjustably lockable in the foot of the pedestal of the seat by means of a similar device as described above on the basis of the figures 3 and 4 and, for that purposeaxial grooves 33 are also applied in the outer surface 32 of theouter tube 20. - In the upper side of the
clamping hub 24 arecess 34 is applied, in which abearing ring 35 is laid, resting upon the upper end of thering 19 and which may serve as a rotation bearing for the bottom of the seat of the driver's seat (not drawn). Optionally between the underside of the seat or on a support of the seat mounted on the inner tube, a diametrically divided ring consisting of two halves may be mounted, the two halves of which are pulled resiliently towards each other and one half of which at the inside is provided with a radial plug, which may extend into one or more radial bores in the inner tube, which are axially spaced from each other and which serve for additionally blocking theinner tube 16 axially in various positions relative to the outer tube 20 (not drawn). - In order to lock the
clamping hub 24 circumferentially relative to theouter tube 20, the bottom edge 36 of the recess in theouter tube 20, in which thedistribution plate 31 is placed, is bend outwardly into theinternal recess 26 in thethickening 25 in theclamping hub 24, so that theclamping hub 24 is fixed circumferentially on theouter tube 20. - The operation of the above described device is as follows:
For adjusting theinner tube 16 relative to theouter tube 20 firstly thescrew thread rod 29 with thebutton 30 is turned out off thescrew nut 27, so that the clamping force of thepressure plate 22 on theinner tube 16 is cancelled. Now theinner tube 16 may be shifted relative to theouter tube 20 in the desired position and therod 29 may be turned into thescrew nut 27 again, whereby thepressure plate 22 pivots inwardly about the connecting line with thering 19 and the axial rib(s) 23 on theplate 22 extend(s) into theaxial grooves 18 in theouter surface 17 of theinner tube 16. - In order to facilitate the engagement of the
axial ribs 23 on thepressure plate 22 into theaxial grooves 18 in the inner tube, the side flanks of theribs 23 and the side walls of thegrooves 18 may taper in the direction of the upper plane and the bottom respectively, so that they have the same cross-section and the upper edges of the ribs and of the grooves may be rounded off optionally, so that theribs 23 are pressed as it were automatically into thegrooves 18 and operate self-centering relative to thegrooves 18. - In this clamped position of the
tubes pressure plate 22 and theinner tube 16 and between thering 19 and thepressure plate 22. The axial locking of theinner tube 16 and theouter tube 20 is improved as yet by tapering flanks of theribs 23 and tapering walls of thegrooves 18, because thereby a larger friction surface is formed between thepressure plate 22 and theinner tube 16. - The locking device according to the figures 5 and 6 is substantially equal to that according to the figures 3 and 4, wherein the same and/or similar parts are provided with the same reference numerals, with the addition "a", and which have the same construction, function and operation in both embodiments.
- Contrary to the embodiment according to the figures 3 and 4, with the embodiment according to the figures 5 and 6 the
outer surface 17a of theinner tube 16a is moreover provided with a plurality ofcircumferential grooves 37 equally divided over the length of theinner tube 16a and the inner surface of thepressure plate 22a is provided with at least one, preferably a plurality of equally spaced circumferential ribs 38, which simultaneously fit in the oppositecircumferential grooves 37 in theouter surface 17a of theinner element 16a. - Also in this embodiment of the locking device according to the invention the side walls of the
axial grooves 18a and thecircumferential grooves 37 and the side flanks of theaxial ribs 23a and the circumferential ribs 38 may taper in the direction of the bottom and upper surface respectively, so that the ribs have the same cross-section as the grooves. There the upper edges of thegrooves ribs 23a and 38 may be rounded off too. - By applying these measures the same locking is attained in axial direction as in circumferential direction, while the
inner tube 16a and theouter tube 20a both axially and circumferentially are adjustable and lockable in a very large number of positions relative to each other. - By analogy with the device according to the figures 3 and 4 the
outer tube 20a of the embodiment according to the figures 5 and 6 may be provided with a plurality of equally spacedaxial grooves 33a and with a plurality of equally spaced circumferential grooves 39, e.g. the foot of the pedestal of the seat being provided with a similar locking device as described above.
